About Wenlock Edge

Wenlock Edge is a long wooded escarpment stretching from The Wrekin to Craven Arms offering woodland walks, stunning views and flower-rich grasslands. The limestone ridge is the remains of a coral reef, so there are lots of opportunities for fossil hunting amongst the exposed rocks. It is a popular area for hillwalking, cycling, mountain biking and horseriding and is also frequented by tourists and sightseers.
